Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Li Damei, Daya, Erya and others accompanied the children to eat, while Liu Xia Lian, the village chief and the militia captain came to the small canteen next door.

The village chief seemed a little embarrassed: "Everyone is eating in the big canteen, it's not good for us to cook separately."

"Don't worry, village chief. I'll pay for this. Not a single cent will go out of the public account. Don't worry. Besides, there's nothing out of the ordinary here. All forestry workers can come here."

The village chief did not order any dishes, but the militia captain ordered a dish of wild boar stewed with potatoes and a dish of chicken stewed with winter melon, both of which were meat dishes on plates, and three bowls of white rice.

The village chief ate and paused, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Liu Xialian said: "Village Chief, what's wrong with you?"

"How can I say this? Yesterday, we had a meeting in the village, and everyone said that there was a good idea to make money. Can you come up with a plan and bring the people in our village to make money together? You can make a lot of money, and the villagers can make a little money."

"Well, of course you can. But you don't have to worry, village chief. With the development of reform and opening up, villagers are showing their talents and have their own ways. Just like an egg, if you break it from the outside, it's food, and if you break it from the inside, it's life."

The village chief nodded and said, "That's true, but 80% of the families in our village can't come up with 300 yuan. It will probably take them three to five years, or even ten to eight years to find a way to make money."

"Okay, I'll think about it. I guess it won't be implemented until the beginning of spring after the New Year. By then, the village will have to take the lead. Let's all work together for common prosperity."

The children watched until 3pm in the afternoon and then went home. Their faces were filled with happy smiles. More than 100 people lined up neatly, carrying shovels and shouting slogans as they went home. They repaired the ice on the road a little bit because there were no cars and there were not many snowy and icy places on the road.

Liu Xia Lian's carriage led the way, followed by the village chief's carriage. They rested twice along the way and finally returned to Lijiatun safely before dark.

After arriving home, Liu Xia Lian was surprised to find that there were five or six carts of soybean straw piled up in front of the door of the old house, and Li Shaoling was helping Sister Guilan crush the straw.

Seeing Liu Xia Lian coming over, Li Shao Ling grinned happily: "Sister Xia Lian, you are really amazing. How could you be willing to spend money to buy this machine? It's too expensive."

"The machine is expensive, but look at the fodder. For example, the soybean stalks you brought here. The ones that were cut with a guillotine were not popular with mules and horses. How about the ones that are cut with a shredder now?"

Li Shaoling grabbed a handful of processed fodder and said, "That's great. Originally, soybean stalks were hard and prickly. Although they are nutritious, mules and horses rarely eat them. Now, after being beaten by the machine, they have become very soft. Mules and horses love to eat them and there is almost no left."

"As long as they like it, it's good. From now on, all the brothers in our team will come to my place to collect grass. The animals can only work well if they eat and drink well."

"The machine needs money to be purchased, and it needs oil to be operated. Why don't you charge a little money so that it can maintain normal operation?"

"No, I just want to work hard and treat my own people better. Besides, the free fodder we provide is only for the coal trucks and animals. If it is used for other purposes, we will definitely charge for it."

This silk kneading machine can solve two big problems. First, it is the fodder problem of wild boars, donkeys, horses and roe deer raised by the family. Second, it is the fodder problem of mules and horses raised by the cart companies.

A cart of corn stalks, so full that it was difficult to pull it. In fact, it was only a little over a thousand pounds. After breaking it into shreds, there were only a dozen bags, which were easy to pull down.

Guilan suggested: "Xia Lian, the farm is not busy now, why don't we just collect fodder and grain for the villagers in the front yard and charge them according to the market price."

"Diesel is too expensive. If we use electric motors, it's still possible, but unfortunately there is no power supply in the village, so let's not do it. You have to be professional in everything you do. There are more donkeys coming here in the next few days, so you will be busy."

"Okay, I know."

In fact, there is a chronic problem in doing small business in the village, that is, selling on credit. It is a small business worth only a few dollars, but the money is not paid until the end of the year. When you ask for the money at the end of the year, there is still no money. Therefore, it is better not to make money by processing fodder and grain in the village. If you must do it, you should go to the forest farm or the county where there is power electricity and buy large machines, which will be faster and cost less.

Li Shaoling brought five carts of corn stalks, and it took more than two hours for the machine to thresh them. When it was already dark, Boss Chen, who collected ginseng, came in a jeep, looking so anxious that he almost cried.

When he saw Liu Xialian, he said, "Xiao Liu, please help me. Something terrible has happened. You must help me."

"What's the big deal? Let's go to the courtyard to talk. It's inconvenient here because there are too many people around."

Liu Xialian led Lao Chen and his bodyguards into the yard. Lao Chen said, "Didn't I tell you a few days ago that three students from Beijing came to the mountains to look for a red fruit, as red as blood, called the Blood Spirit Fruit. It is an extremely rare fruit in Changbai Mountain. Ancient books record that if a young person eats one, he can gain 500 kilograms of strength, and if an elderly and weak person eats one, all diseases can be eliminated. This is just a legend. These three people insisted on going. I didn't know why. I couldn't resist their soft and hard persuasion, so I sent two old hunters under my command to take the three of them into the mountains. Now the five people have been gone for three days, and there is no news."

Liu Xia Lian asked: "Then why did you come to me? Do you want me to find the Blood Spirit Fruit or these five people?"

"The Blood Spirit Fruit is just a legend. Of course, I am looking for these five people. I cannot afford to offend these three people from Beijing. If something really happens to them, I, Old Chen, will be finished. The wealth I have worked so hard to accumulate will be gone, and I may not even be able to save my life."

"Are there really such unreasonable people? They wanted to go there on their own initiative. You didn't ask them to go there. It's better not to save such unreasonable people. Let them die on their own."

"No, no, I beg you to help me, otherwise I will really be ruined."

Liu Xia Lian understood that the family backgrounds of these three students from Beijing were people that Boss Chen could not afford to offend. The three of them hired two of Boss Chen's men and went to Changbai Mountain. Now they have not come out for three days. Something might have happened. Now they must go to the mountain to find them immediately.

"What kind of weather is this season? It's more than 10 degrees below zero. In extreme weather, it's 20 to 30 degrees below zero. If you stay overnight, you will freeze to death. This is not saving people, it's killing yourself. I won't go."

Old Chen was also getting anxious. He put his backpack on the ground. There were exactly 20,000 yuan in it, all brand new Great Unity bills.

"Forty thousand yuan, I'll give you twenty thousand first, and then another twenty thousand after the search and rescue is completed. I'll still owe you a favor, do you want to do it?"

"It's settled. Old Chen Changliang has made the decision happily. We will get up early tomorrow and set off into the mountains."
